COMM-3018: Citizen Journalism

Citizen journalists are changing the media landscape. They serve as first-hand witnesses to events by capturing police brutality, battlefield scenes in war and previously unreported local stories in neighborhoods. They challeng official stories with documentary evidence, and brought fresh, from-the-street perspectives to audiences around the world. Citizen journalists are not professional journalist, but rather information gatherers and media ‘re-framers.’ They include on-the-street observers who upload video to news sites, creators and contributors to blogs. Sometimes they work in tandem with news organizations providing “user generated content.” Course work includes media theory, detailed case studies, a basic primer on best practices in citizen journalism and hands-on reporting.
